COMPARTMENTAL MODELS OF EPIDEMICS

In this section, we look at some simple compartmental models of spread of an infectious disease without specific reference to geographic spread and look at that in the next section.

• Some Simple Models: SIS, SIR
  • The Equations
  • The Basic Reproduction Number,
  • Herd Immunity
• Subpopulations
• Mixing
• The Basic Structure of Epidemic Models
  • Models of Disease Progression
  • Models of the Force of Infection
